Israel - Feker Libi - Eden Alene

Single digital release image
Israel chose Eden Alene (עדן אלנה‎) who won her Eurovision ticket by winning the Rising Star contest.
Eden's Eurovision 2020 song was Feker Libi (My love) written by Doron Medalie and Idan Raichel.
The song is performed in English with parts in Amharic, Hebrew and Arabic.
ፍቅር ልቤ (Amharic) אהוב ליבי (Hebrew) حبيب قلبي (Arabic)
Here's a performance video

Eden Alene will represent Israel in the next Eurovision Song Contest. She has her own preselection show, more about that here at Rotterdam 2021.

The digital EP with four songes was released on February 27. A single version was released seperately on March 3.  This version is slightly different from the original (most noticable at 1:24, one has a flute, the other has not, thanks Rick!)
However it seems that Spotify has replaced the original EP version with the new version (in the EP release), not sure about any of the other digital sources

A remix by Yinon Yahel and Mor Avrahami was released on April 29.

Composer's Corona version

Idan Raichel has released his own version of the song tying in with the current Corona virus.
The song is out now (since March 29) and the full title is Feker Libi (Corona Quarantine)

The song selection took place on March 3. There were four songs in the competition.
You can still listen to the four songs here or find them here or Spotify (Thanks Rick!)

Eden Alene won the 2017/2018 edition of X-factor Israel and released a few digital singles including a coverversion of Brotherhood Of Man's Save Your Kisses For Me, the 1976 Eurovision winner. (Listen to that here)
